Dysport Overview

Dysport is an injectable protein that was approved by the FDA in April of 2009. It works much like Botox injections in order to relax facial wrinkles. Like Botox, Dysport injections can also be used to help with excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and muscle spasm.

Although Botox and Dysport are two different products, the approximate conversion is around 2.5 units of Dysport for every one unit of Botox. If for instance you normally use 20 units of Botox to treat the wrinkles between the eyes, you would need about 50 units of Dysport.

There are some studies that show Dysport lasting slightly longer than Botox, but in most of the those studies a larger ratio than 2.5:1 (Dysport:Botox) was used. When comparing 50 units of Dysport to 20 units of Botox, most studies show that their duration of effect is almost identical. In studies, about 35% of patients noticed that their Dysport started working within the first 48 hours.

Dysport has been used in Europe for many years and has an almost identical side effect profile to that of Botox.
